BEFORE BUYING THE YOUNG HYBRID CHICKS, AN APPROPRIATE BROODING AREA NEEDS TO BE PREPARED: Here is also a guide on the temperatures you are supposed to maintain: Temperature above the floor should be kept at 32° C for the first week, and then lowered by 4° C for each week up to the 4th week. Observe the reaction of chicks to the heat. At correct brooding temperatures, chicks are evenly spread within the brooder ring. At high temperature the chicks will move away from the heat source and when temperatures are low they crowd around the heat source. Other conditions one is supposed to ensure are: adequate fresh air and light into the brooder; the litter in the brooder should always be dry; cleaned and disinfect brooder 1 to 2 weeks before bringing in new chicks. Take precautions when using charcoal jikos to avoid fires! As soon as the day old chicks arrive on the farm it is a good idea to make sure each individual bird gets to drink fresh clean water. Travelling can dehydrate these little birds quite badly. Then release them into the warm brooder.. Show a few of the chicks where the feed is and the others will learn by example!
